Chapter 11

Within the hour Layla had gathered up her friends, each one not happy with what had happened. Her eyes passing between Musa and Riven. Only to look at Bloom who was laying on her back. "Musa I am sorry I stopped you."

Musa groaned, "You should be Yo. That hurt a lot, why did you stop me from stopping him! Now he has the pixies!"

Riven was rather silent, his body aching from the shock that paralysis ball had done.

Layla looking down, "He had good reason, he is trying to save Diaspro. Darkar has her."

Bloom would groan a little when she sat up. Hand rubbing her stomach feeling the bruise form up where Alan had hit her. The story from layla making sense, Bloom speaking up "What can we do? I am sure if Darkar has her. They are in Shadow Haunt, our powers aren't real reliable there you know that."

Tecna sighing, "Your right Bloom, I couldn't even summon my winx in the test. Only You, Stella, and Layla could even go. That's not safe even if you had Brandon and Skye come help."

Layla would cut Tecna off, "We can't let him go it alone! Darkar will destroy him after he gets the pixies. He needs our help."

Stella groaned a little, the gas having left her a little more light headed than normal. "I know what you are saying Layla. However we aren't quite up for it. It would just be us three, if you remember last time down there we didn't do to well. We may not come back you know." Stella stating the importance of going into Shadow Haunt once more.

Everyone looked down the truth hurt, it was something they all wanted to help with. However they couldn't ask for help the situation was to delicate. Knowing Mistress Faragonda would not allow it.

Layla shook her head, "Well I am going, I won't let him face this alone." Layla then walking out of the room quickly.

Bloom would run after her friend speaking up, "Hey wait! You can't do this, well not alone." Bloom offering her smile to Layla.

Layla stoppd turning her head, long ponytail shifting a little. Bloom's words reassured her, "Thanks Bloom."

Bloom had to gently laugh, "If it were Skye I would do the same."

Musa would step into the hallway tossing a small key toward Layla, "Catch girl."

Layla turned catching the key looking toward Musa, "Whats this?"

Musa shook her head, "It's the key to Riven's levi bike. Good luck. I will be waiting on you to come back."

Bloom wondered how she pryed those keys out of Riven's hands. Though was happy to recieve the help. "Thanks Musa, we will be back soon."

Flora would step out looking to Layla and Bloom, "I got some of those magic seeds that Faragonda gave you guys when you went down there. Here I hope they help." Flora holding the little bag of seeds.

Bloom walking over to Flora, giving her friend a hug. "Thanks Flora, they will help."

Stella stumbled a little out into the hallway. "Here Bloom take my ring. It might help, I want to go but my powers get draind just walking to Shadow Haunt. You guys better come back."

Layla spoke softly, "We appreciate everything guys. I. I appreciate everything."

The five girls smiled, everyone worried this would be the last time each would see each other. Both Layla and Bloom would then run out of the dorms.

Meanwhile it seemed Alan had found his way into Shadow Haunt, the map almost pointless. It was like he was allowed into the dark area. Eyes cutting left to right, not one monster nor one delay. So that monster was waiting on him. Stepping into the center of the open room. "I'm here!" The voice echoing loudly through the large room.

"Glad to see you boy, your even a little early." The sight of the dark lord would become clear as he lowered from his ark phoenix form. "I am Lord Darkar."

Alan growled lowly, feeling the energy alone off of Darkar was intense. "I don't care about your name or my time. I want Diaspro, return her to me and I will give you the pixies."

Darkar had to grin watching Alan slowly, "Such rudeness, however I ned proof do you have the pixies?"

Alan shifted back a little, his leather jacket opened the container removed as he nodded, "They are in here."

Darkar shook his head, "I need a little more than that boy. I need proof."

This forced Alan to open the container, inside each pixie would come out, forced to face the dark lord Darkar.

Chatta speaking up, "We are here Darkar! So let that princess go now!" Tune and Amore had explained the situation to all the pixies. Understanding now that they had no choice just like Alan had no choice.

Darkar could only laugh a little, "So you came through, good I guess I can now return the favor. Diaspro come in here dear. Your loyal bodyguard awaits."

Alan quirked a brow what did Darkar mean by that? His hand sliding to the handle of his pahtom blade. Low growl passing his lips, "What are you planning Darkar!"

"Rock Geiser." Dark words echoed from a familiar voice, the sound of rumbling heard. The sight of several large stalactmites would punch through the ground their goal to kill Alan where he stood.

Alan heard the attack, "No!" His sword ignited as he sliced through the first stalactmite only for one to slice through his arm, nearly shattering the bone. Forcing him to jump back several feet flipping backwards only to slide along the ground. "Diaspro!"

The sight of the princess was now clear, her long blonde hair down and resting over her shoulers. Skin tight blood red outfit clung to her. Lips painted with black lipstick, her neck ordaned with an odd necklace. Her eyes emotionless. Raising her hand to prepare another attack, Alan's words ignored.
